Australia has neither a CW requirement nor an AX.25 requirement. We're
a civilised country :-)

To: LINDBERG@elwood.aea9.k12.ia.us, tcp-group@ucsd.edu
I'll answer this to the mailing list since it is a sufficiently common
problem that sparks numerous inquiries.
I am not using JNOS, but the general issues are similar. The DRSI card
can be used with either the "drsi" interface driver or the generic "scc"
interface driver. The "drsi" driver is considered obsolete, however.
Here is the relevant part of AUTOEXEC.NOS to attach the board:
#
# attach scc <numchips> init <baseaddr> <ofs_nextchip> <Aoff> <Boff> <Dataoff>
# <intack> <irq> <clksrc> <hwtype>
attach scc 1 init 0x300 0x10 2 0 1 0 7 p4915200 8
#
# attach scc <chan> <mode> <iflabel> <mtu> <speed> <rxbuf>
attach scc 0 ax25 dr0a 256 d1200 512
attach scc 1 ax25 dr0b 256 d1200 512
#
Note that there are some important considerations. The offset to next chip
must be non-zero, even if there is only one chip; I use 0x10 because that is
standards for DRSI hardware if a second board were ever installed. The
receiver buffer size setting (512 bytes) must be strictly less than the
"mem ibufsize" setting and larger than the longest AX.25 frames passed on
your LAN. Inspect the "Iminfree" and "Ibuffail" counters with the "mem stat"
display; "Ibuffail" should be zero if everything is working correctly.

Did anyone ever implement a MD5 type password authorization scheme for NOS?
Thanks.

Well, for some time I have been MD-5 hashing the passwords that I store
in /ftpusers, just in case the file is stolen. But they still go over
the air in plaintext.

To: TCP-Group@UCSD.Edu
I have a NOS user ref. manual written by ka9q and pa0gri which
reflects version 911229 of NOS 2.01. I would like to know if there
exists addenda to this manual - other than an occasional "read.me"
file that one seldom finds with different versions of NOS. Either
that or perhaps there is a newer manual altogether. Thanks.
